Amtek Reduces Waste and Enhances Automation with MO-DI-TEC Slow Speed Granulator

Summit Systems provided a trial of two granulators to determine the best fit for AMTEK’s requirements. After careful evaluation, AMTEK selected the MO-DI-TEC Slow Speed Granulator due to its multiple advantages, including noise reduction for a quieter working environment, low dust production to maintain cleanliness and material quality, and ease of cleaning for simplified maintenance and reduced downtime. Additionally, the granulator requires minimal maintenance, enhancing operational efficiency, and features an in-built metal detection system, preventing metal contamination that could lead to costly damage of the injection moulding machine (IMM). 

Following installation, the MO-DI-TEC granulator was fully integrated into AMTEK’s production process. It was connected to machine loaders using proportioning valves, allowing for the automatic reuse of scrap polymer and creating a closed-loop recycling system. The system operates with no operator input required, reducing manual handling, and is fully integrated with robotic systems to enhance efficiency. As a result, AMTEK achieved a waste reduction of 15-18%, significantly cutting down on material loss and disposal costs while improving sustainability efforts. 

Encouraged by the success of this implementation, AMTEK now sees scope for further rollout of the solution across additional machines, enabling even greater scrap reduction, cost savings, and process automation. By partnering with Summit Systems and integrating the MO-DI-TEC Slow Speed Granulator, AMTEK has successfully improved efficiency, reduced waste, and streamlined operations. This project not only contributes to sustainability but also enhances productivity and cost-effectiveness.
